A smart tag is a location tracker using Bluetooth, and it is similar to the Air Tag, which has been rumored to be released by Apple, but was released before the Air Tag.
The Galaxy Smart Tag can be used like a key ring, and it is released in about 3.9 * 3.9 * 1 (cm), 13g, and uses Bluetooth LE 5.0. Users can use the Galaxy Smart Tag in conjunction with a smartphone, but it does not use Ultra Wide Band Technology (UWB) and can only be linked with Bluetooth. Since the UWB function is a function built into the latest Galaxy smartphones, a UWB built-in smart tag named Galaxy Smart Tag Plus may be released in the future.
Users can find a variety of easily lost items such as keys and carriers through Samsung’s SmartThings Find app if only Bluetooth is linked through the Galaxy Smart Tag. At this time, the tag must be within the Bluetooth range, and when it goes out of the Bluetooth range, the last position is displayed. The app provides a map and can even sound a sound from the tag.
Also, since the smart tag will have a smart home function, the smart tag can be used in reverse. For example, if you have a smart tag as a key ring, you can control all lights in the house by pressing the button on the smart tag.
The Galaxy Smart Tag is equipped with a replaceable CR2032 battery, and Samsung Electronics told the foreign media The Verge that it works only on Samsung Galaxy devices and is not compatible with other Android smartphones or iPhones.
